Noteworthy

23 November 2023 by WTF Notebooks

Jingle all the way to the office Christmas party, where deadlines are momentarily drowned in Baileys and eggnog, while a fat man in a white coat supposedly delivers “secret” gifts to you and your colleagues.

Yes, it’s Secret Santa time. The glorious time of year when we exchange gifts with our work buddies in a desperate attempt to appear festive and collegial. Although let's be real, putting on a smiley face in front of the boss is child's play compared to the epic quest of finding the perfect gift for your office pal.

But fear not, because WTF Notebooks has got you covered with 20 of the most hilarious, relatable, (and slightly questionable) notebooks that will make your Secret Santa gift the talk of the office party. Not only amusing but also practical, WTF Notebooks make the perfect gift for every workmate, whether on the naughty or nice list.

So, forget the scented candles and bland coffee mugs and give the gift of laughter this holiday season.
